- Nominator(s): Jimknut (talk) 23:38, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because Mary Pickford was one of the most popular and innovative motion picture actresses in cinematic history. This timeline was created to highlight major events of her life and juxtapose them against the development of cinema and also events in the history of the United States. I have modeled this after the timelines of Jane Austen and Mary Wollstonecraft. I requested a peer review two months ago. It was never answered and is now closed. I'm now making it a featured list candidate. Please help if you can.Jimknut (talk) 23:38, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments and support from Chidgk1
Wow an enormous amount of work has been done on this.
- Made a few minor edits - feel free to revert
- Consider changing "June 9 – Charlotte Smith" to "June 9 – Sister Charlotte Smith". I guessed it was her sister but had to click the link to be 100% sure.
- I have changed this so it now reads, "Mary's sister, Charlotte Smith". I did the same for their brother's birth.
- Not sure this is a good idea - probably other reviewers have opinions - but as well as the date range how about adding her age range and/or a subtitle e.g. "1911-1915 Marriage and ...."
- No, I will keep it as it is. The timelines of Austen and Wollstonecraft only use the year range.
- Might be amusing to make some connection between Chaplin signing for $10,000 a week and then Pickford renegotiating her salary (or was it just coincidence?)
- It might be. However, I think information of that kind would be better in the main biography of Pickford.
If you have time could you take a quick look at List of active coal-fired power stations in Turkey and comment at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of active coal fired power stations in Turkey/archive1. Assuming you know nothing about the subject it will be valuable if you could point out anything which is difficult to understand for a first time reader.

- Comments by Birdienest81
This looks like a very comprehensive list. I just have two comments:
- Why is 1963 placed in between 1852 and 1869 in the years column? I'm assuming this is a typo.
- Oops! Changed.
- I was wondering if you could mention the 1st Academy Awards for 1929 underneath the cinema column since her husband Fairbanks hosted the ceremony.
- I'll consider it.
- Thanks. Jimknut (talk) 15:54, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass Impressive work here (and a lot of references!) – working on source review now Aza24 (talk) 05:50, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Books
- Eyman should have an ISBN 13 (use the converter
- Fixed.
- I wouldn't link the locations (only some are linked now anyways) – that's rather unusual for FLs and FAs
- Unlinked.
- Make sure you link all the publishers, only some are linked atm
- All linked except for the Eyman book as there is no Wiki article for that publisher.
- I recognize you used "NY" since the city name is the same as the state name, but I would advise against this since you don't use abbreviations for other states. "New York, New York" is fine.
- All changed to "New York, New York"
- References
- Ref 8 could have a link to Eric Lott and Oxford University Press (needs ISBN 13 as well)
- Fixed.
- Ref 9 could have a link to Ellen Wood and Oxford University Press
- Fixed.
- Added some links to publishers and authors myself so as to not bother you with so much of this tedious task. Will keep checking refs later, looks good so far. Aza24 (talk) 06:53, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you. Jimknut (talk) 16:13, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have look through the rest of the refs and have seen consistent formatting, it looks like a pass from me. Aza24 (talk) 22:29, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, again. Jimknut (talk) 03:02, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
